[AnAmericanMother]

Have you read the books? Don Camillo as portrayed by Giovanni Guareschi in The Little World of Don Camillo and its sequels is bigger, tougher, and more fearsome than the movie version played by Fernandel . . . and ten times more so than the wimpy Terence Hill version.

Even so, this is a priest with whom one does NOT mess!

No...I have to admit I didn’t know who this person was. I will try to get the book and read it. Sounds really good...thanks!!!

this is a priest with whom one does NOT mess!

And one who was operating within a society that allowed it's members to defend their own lives, and not be forced to seek out the euphemistically-named "Guardian Angels" to protect them (the only allowed protection, however, being a slightly greater number of equally-defenseless people)  every time they need to go to the supermarket or work in their gardens..

It may be interesting, but most likely saddening, to peruse the document from which this article is derived.  To American sensibilities, I would characterize the tone as breathtakingly condescending in it's apparent characterization of it's audience as utterly helpless and naive babes in the woods who have zero comprehension of the realities of the world around them.  Not being able to claim multiple British Vicars as close personal friends, I don't know whether that tone and characterization is appropriate for it's audience or not.
